I guess I'll just have to inundate myself with CoD and Fallout until then. BOO!

It'll be a fucking really awesome game, seriously, it's the most exciting title I've heard in 2011 until now. It has great chances to be GOTY, just like Red Dead Redemption was. (At least by Gamespot's view... I think there were any game better than it, what d'ya guys think??)

Just think about the massive difference... That's why piracy is a national problem here. A game that costs 100 the equivalent of 100 reais costs 300 reais here. That's a goddamn SALARY!! Just because of those damn taxes. A game here in Brazil is considered GAMBLING!!

I am quite proud to be an American. Notice basically every graphic I use has to do with either the American flag or Eagles (our national bird)?

But I agree, that's a bit ridiculous. You cannot purchase the game via digital download (either on Steam or another supplier like Gamestop) in Brazil? I'd imagine the prices would be a lot less via those means.

Yeah, actually, Steam is the best option for Brazilian gamers, since I'd buy the ganes for the same prica as you. Amazon, eBay and all those other American sites are okay to buy, I'd pay the same thing, but the shipping cost is high, and if the custom house catches the game, I'd have to pay the taxes...

Steam works here, but I can't get games like GTA who are kind of "banned" here in Brazil are unbuyable (if this word doesn't exist, it means that I can't buy it. lol) via Steam, I can't even enter it's page in Steam. But, if I put it in the English mode, I can enter, but can't buy it...

And, I don't know how Gamestop works, but, like you said, if it's via digital download, I think it should be fine, then. Anyways, there's a campaign here in Brazil, they're trying to reduce the ammount of taxes we have to pay.

Also, I admire your patriotism, I think you have something to really be proud of, Brazil isn't a country people should be proud of, all the favelas, all the bullshit that happens here, it's just a shame...

Well played the shit out of the first one and will more then likely get it when I get the chance. But really took me a while to get the hang of the game bt once I did I was hooked for life. So bring on Portal 2 and see how much fun can have on that one. And see how it will compare to the first.
